TechNavio's analysts forecast the Global InfiniBand market to grow at a
CAGR of 44.46 percent over the period 2011-2015. One of the key factors
contributing to this market growth is the increasing adoption of
InfiniBand in high-performance computing. The Global InfiniBand market
has also been witnessing the emerging need for organizations to
establish data centers. However, the customer caution following earlier
failure of InfiniBand cold pose a challenge to the growth of this
market.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio's Networking team
said: ''The increasing number of data centers is also a major driver for
the Global InfiniBand market. Organizations have realized the many
advantages of having a data center operation; data centers help
organizations cut down the cost of infrastructure, technology and human
resources. Moreover, data centers offer easy disaster recovery as well
as improved network infrastructure security. Hence, organizations are
consolidating applications and services into a single point of
operation, reducing the overall cost of maintenance for network
infrastructure. Network equipment devices provide an ideal platform for
integrating the various network devices at a single location, such as a
data center. Finally, the increasing adoption of virtualization and
economies of scale by data center capabilities is driving the InfiniBand
market.''

According to the report, one of the main growth drivers is the
increasing adoption of InfiniBand in high-performance computing (HPC).
InfiniBand technology offers very low latency even when the utilization
of network capacity is very high. It finds application in the HPC of
supercomputers.

Further, the report reveals that one of the major trends is the emerging
need for organizations to establish data centers.
